1871 census look up please for Atkinson

[gladys1]

Please would some kind person do me a look up for Thomas Atkinson aged about 12 born Seaham Harbour, Elizabeth Atkinson aged about 10 born Seaham Harbour.  They were living with my Elsdon Heron and his wife Sarah and children in Usworth in 1881 census,   Thomas and Elizabeth were down as step son and step daughter.  I am trying to find out where the name of Atkinson will fit in. Hoping some one can help me on that.   Much Appreciated. Thank you. gladys1

Amazing what you can miss when you don't see the image!

Elizabeth Atkinson is a pupil in a Convent in Mill Lane, St Mary, Richmond, Yorkshire.  Born Seaham about 1860, age 11.
This is next door to the Richmond Workhouse.
Reference RG10; Piece: 4874; Folio: 97; Page: 26

Other Atkinsons on the page are

Anne Atkinson 13 
Jane Atkinson 14 
Kate Atkinson 11 

I don't suppose even seeing the image would give you an answer as to whether the other three are related, although Jane appears to have the birthplace "Scaham" probably Seaham mistranscribed.  The other two were born Newcastle On Tyne.

I've amended the entries above.

I would assume that the Atkinson name comes from Sarah's previous marriage.

Thomas son Single 17 Durham Seaham

My gut instinct is that the first Thomas is Sarah's daughter but the girls are the children of George and Thomasina, but all possibly related here somehow.

Hmmmm seems Elsdon Heron married Sarah Costello September quarter 1870 Newcastle Upon Tyne 10b 168

Elsdon Heron married probably either Isabella Dawson or Isabella Ewers June quarter 1854  Newcastle On Tyne    10b   162

Sorry, without proof of parentage via certificates I'm getting a bit lost, seems you will need to confirm a few facts probably starting with the marriage of Elsdon before we can make enough headway.  If indeed the Sarah in 1871 was Costello before he married her then maybe her father's name will help a bit.
